Displaying a purple-toned hue, the 2023 Pinot Noir Chateau Buena Vista is a seductive offering with a rich perfume of cedar, blackberries, woodsy spice, and lavender. It’s juicy on the palate, with a rounded feel, a plush texture, and medium to full-bodied richness. It has a lot of depth and complexity without feeling heavy and should do well over the coming 10-12 years.

A vivid, well-balanced and full-bodied red that's rich in black cherry, clove and oak spice flavors. Dark plums, cedar, cinnamon and star anise on medium tannins. Drink now or hold.
